Creighton Valley Road is a gravel road to Echo Lake Provincial Park. There is a boat launch, day-use areas, and beaches, but no camping here. Echo Lake is a pristine lake surrounded by trees and mountains. This lake is a popular destination for water activities. It can get crowded during the summer. You’ll also pass Barbe Lakes just to the west of Echo Lake. These are two very tiny lakes.
The trail runs through Crown Land. It is a wide double-lane road. Any vehicle can handle this, and high clearance is not necessary. An offshoot towards the trail's east end runs along Echo Creek and offers superb views of the surrounding mountains and forests.
